paprhangr Report post Posted August 22, 2013 I purchased my first sewing machine last week. a Consew 206 RB-5. Learning about tensions, bobbins, needles, threads and a little bit of sewing leather. Current problem is the machine is leaving a trail of Foot marks as it walks on my leather, how do I avoid this? Also, Can anyone with the consew 206 recommend a edge guide so I can sew a straight thread border on my belts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted August 23, 2013 Bob has a couple styles of edge guide. His phone number is on the site somewhere .. http://www.tolindsewmach.com/consew-206rb.html And, there's a screw right behind the thread post (top of the machine, about in the middle) whre you can adjust the pressure of the foot (leff is less). It's set down just a bit, so you might have to stand up to see it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CowboyBob Report post Posted August 24, 2013 You can try loosening the wing nut on the back & slide it down so the feet aren't lifting so high.You can also loosen the foot pressure moore too & if it gets too loose the machine will start skipping stitches.
